SB2012 Docking Database [2012.08.09 Initial Release]

SB2012 is an updated release of the SB2010 docking validation database. The database has been updated to contain ~1000 protein-ligand complexes including several new protein families. Please refer to the publication "Docking Validation Resources: Protein Family and Ligand Flexibility Experiments" for information regarding structure preparation. The base version of the database is presented as Receptors, Ligands and Spheres, which is applicable to any docking program. The spheres and grids are meant to be used with any version of the DOCK program. SB2012 is an on-going project.

Note: The DOCK energy and bump grids provided are binary files (13GB download). These were generated on an Intel Xeon, and should work fine with DOCK 4 or greater. Some platforms (e.g. ibm aix) use a different endian ordering and would require the grids to be regenerated. The grids are provided for convenience, and can be generated independently from the receptor files. The receptor and ligand mol2 files should also be compatible with most other commercial and academic docking programs. If you would like to suggest alternative file formats (pdb,sdf etc) to facilitate use with a particular tool, please contact the authors.
